← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a check valve opens too rapidly in a hydraulic pump?
A)Pump cavitation and component damage✓
B)Increased valve stiction and hysteresis
C)Reduced actuator precision and smoothness
D)Excessive thermal expansion of oil
💡 Explanation
Pump cavitation increases because rapid valve opening causes sudden pressure drops leading to vapor bubble formation in the oil due to boiling; therefore, cavitation damages the pump parts rather than causing expansion, stiction or reducing actuator precision.
